Fundraising Campaign to normalise and humanise mental illness.
Normalising & Humanising Mental Illness Everybody in the world has mental health. Everyone. Yet the fear of being judged is preventing many people from talking about it. At Chasing the Stigma we want to help remove that fear and unnecessary stigma, by using our own first-hand experiences to say ‘I have suffered. I got through it and you can too’. You are never alone.
